Season 2021/2022 - Bedford Town So yeah as you already know, could not sign anyone or any staff (this continued for whole season but I did manage to get a couple of loans to bulk out squad).
Well I've completed the season now and forgot all the details. When everyone and myself thought we'd struggle.... we didn't.
McPherson and Lovegrove were outstanding upfront and scored tons of goals. Billy Smith (the keeper on huge wages) proved his worth and was a damn good keeper (not worth 2.1k a week though).
We fought long and hard with Kettering all season and finished....
2nd!!! Possibly my finest season in management.
70 goals for my strike partnership. Simply amazing strikers.
So we were in the playoffs... beat Stalybridge 3-1 to reach the final.
...
2-0 FT!
We got promoted!!!!!!!!!! How? I'll never know.
Here's some screenshots (sorry for not detailed update).
Also, this was the FA Trophy final. Goalfest.
And into the BSP we go, we finally get a decent wage budget so I make full use and buy effectively a new squad with 18 people coming in on frees. And all quality signings.... it's also paying off so far. More on that soon.
